TELL - US JOURNAL Vol 1, No 2 (2015): November 2015
Publisher : Universitas PGRI Sumatera Barat

Maggie: A Girl of The Street adalah novel yang menggambarkan tentang kemiskinan penduduk New York pada abad 19. Dalam artikel ini, penulis menggunakan theory sosiologi sastra yang akan membandingkan antara kejadian yang benar – benar terjadi dengan apa yang di temukan di dalam novel ini. Penulis juga menggunakan pendekatan sosiologi di dalam menganalisa novel. Pendekatan ini merupakan pendekatan extrinsic dari sebuah karya sastra. Pendekatan sosiologi ini di gunakan untuk mengetahui sejauh mana keadaan yang tergambar di dalam novel mempunyai persamaan dengan fakta sebenarnya yang berkaitan dengan kemiskinan serta dampaknya terhadap wanita di daerah kumuh di New York pada abad 19. Selain itu penulis juga mengumpulkan data melalui metode kualitatif kemudian di jabarkan secara deskriptif. Dari hasil penelitian tersebut, penulis menemukan bahwa Crane dalam novel Maggie: A gril of the streets menampilkan gambaran dari kemiskinan serta dampaknya terhadap wanita immigran di New York pada abad 19. Setelah menganalisa novel ini terbukti bahwa hidup di bawah garis kemiskinan telah member dampak negative terhadap wanita, yaitu: keinginan yang besar untukmendapatkan pria kaya, ketidakharmonisan hubungan antara ibu dan anak, bekerja sebagia buruh dan prostitusi. Mereka merupkan korban dari kemelaratan, dan harapan untuk keluar dari kemelaratan justru membuat mereka lebih terjerumus kedalam hal yang tidak mereka inginkan. Semua dampak dari kemiskinan itu dapat di temukan dengan jelas dalam novel ini.

TELL - US JOURNAL Vol 1, No 1 (2015): March 2015
Publisher : Universitas PGRI Sumatera Barat

This study aims to improve students' understanding of linguistics by using a jigsaw strategy. It is constituted as a linguistic study about language in overall. Language is a communication tool for a person which has several systems. Thus, the language itself is important to be learned and understood, especially for the students of the language. Another reason is the existence of several phenomena that researchers have encountered in the classroom in English language courses of STKIP PGRI SUMBAR. The study of language that is learned is English or English linguistic. First, English is a foreign language which is not easy to be learned. The second, the material on this language is a complete knowledge that cannot be separated from one another. Meanwhile, the time provided only 2.5 hours per week. Students are expected to understand the concept of language, how to communicate, sounds, words, meanings and applications. Third problem is learning strategies used by lecturers. Lecturer asks students to learn in groups. Each group will present a different material each week. Then the others respond, causing discussion. This strategy is less effective against the student's understanding. Discussion only occurs for students who had studied. Most of them are just silent. Likewise, group presentations, it will dominate only one or two students. The others are just as followers. So in this study the researcher wants to apply the jigsaw to solve the above problems.Type of research is a Classroom Action Research. It would increase the students' understandings of linguistic of STKIP PGRI SUMBAR. Participants that would be used were the student of English at STKIP PGRI SUMBAR who were taking the course Introduction to Linguistics. The data were collected through observation would also be assisted by collaborator. The instruments to be used are notes, interviews, and tests. The data is analysed by classifying based on the characteristics. Then, the data would be interpreted to see whether the jigsaw can increase students' understanding of linguistics or not.

EXPLORING CLASSROOM LANGUAGE IMPLEMENTED BY NOVICE ENGLISH TEACHERS AT JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOLS Primurizki, Juliance; Suherdi, Didi
TELL - US JOURNAL Vol 9, No 1 (2023): March 2023
Publisher : Universitas PGRI Sumatera Barat

Using English as a classroom language is widely acknowledged as the most effective means to encourage students to get used to English. The more often they are exposed to English, the more proficient they will be. However, teachers' awareness of the role of classroom language as a means to maximize student proficiency remains vague. Studies reveal that EFL teachers tend to use their own language in the classroom rather than the target language, English. Furthermore, teachers are susceptible to code-switching, which is the use of two or more languages in a single sentence or phrase. Despite the growing attention of studies exploring classroom language used by EFL teachers, studies focusing on novice EFL teachers with less than five years of teaching experience are considered limited. Accordingly, this descriptive qualitative study aims to investigate the implementation of classroom language used by two EFL novice teachers based on Sallaberri's framework from the English Classrooms Handbook: Classroom Language (1995). The data were gathered through a questionnaire and semi-structured interviews. The study's findings revealed that two EFL novice teachers use Bahasa Indonesia as their primary classroom language, including code-switching. Besides, using English as a classroom language became teachers’ dilemma since the students' proficiency levels and their experience in teaching are strongly affected their actions. Some recommendations and potential future practices and research are also discussed thoroughly.
